- In this video, we're dealing with a strange noise when the GE washing machine operates. I'll show you how to check the belt, clutch system, shift actuator, and hub beneath the agitator for possible issues and how to resolve the potential problems with noise.

Thanks for all your help 🙏 😊
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Your videos are very informative and helpful i do appreciate your work thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
thanks Ben; blessings to you and your family.🌟💚
Same to you!
❤❤😊😊😊
Great video. Thanks! Mine started squeaking during the wash cycle. High pitched. I think it’s the belt. Unit is a year old.
Ben, love your videos. Ive been a GE factory service tech for 7 years now. Just a tip if anyone is looking for a washer, buy direct drive, much more quiet during agitation.
In the next video, Im testing the GE belt-drive against an LG direct drive motor, very fascinating!
What oil or grease does GE use?
Test the agitation sound. I wish you could film the audio underneath so we can hear the motor particularly agitation.@@bensappliancesandjunk
We have a GE washing machine that sounds like it's pushing air out when it spins, it's pretty loud....any thoughts?
is it normal to make noise ? mine is brand new and first wash there is a sound when its turning to "wash".. never heard that on any other machines
Great video, I'm in Appliance Repair and have been thinking about doing some videos, more for techs than consumers, and definitely like how you produce your content. Great Job!
thanks!
We need more tech videos and less that end in "call a repair technician"
@@traviscutshaw1342 are you referring to my videos doing that, or someone elses?
@@bensappliancesandjunk your videos are definitely some of the better ones out there, so not yours. But there are a lot of videos and pages that give a minimal amount of information and tell you to call a tech; I am a tech, but I'm only a year in so I'm still learning a lot
@@traviscutshaw1342 got you, I was hoping you were talking about ApplianceVideos dot com where you gotta sub for videos, lol. At the end I usually tell people if its too complex, call a tech. But only because wire tracing/board stuff tends to take ages to diagnose, and would make people click away from the video
What oil does GE use in their transmission? What are the gears made of?
Hey I have this washer and it has made that awful grinding noise and here it turns out loose change slipped under the agitator. Do u have a video on how to get the change out. But now I wonder if the parts you show are bad in my washer or if it's the change causing it noise. PLEASE HELP THE NOISE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
👍👍👍👍👍
To remove the agitator you need to align the whole with the little bump/nipple with a screw driver. Do you push in with the screw driver then twist off?
Yes thats correct
Pro-tip: Don't ugga dugga the agitator bolt. Bolt head is twice as big as the shaft. Figured out they snap more often than Whirlpools.
The pulley on the motor is damaged. How do you remove it. I didn’t see that process in this video. Thanks.
Remove the nut which holds the pulley to the motor, then wiggle the pulley off the motor's shaft.
It make take some effort, but it will eventually come off.
Use i strap wrench to take out the agitator. Its way earlier and faster
Nothing in the video seamed damaged. But I did notice my tub moves 100% independently of my agitator. and my clutch assembly was completely covered in oil. So, bad gear case?
They overload the gear cases with grease. It's possible it's caused an issue with the clutch assembly. I'd probably look at changing that for
the agitator base won't come out of mine. I've already got the bolt out.
LG top load washer, making squealing noises during agitate?
I'd take tub out , look underneath. Then same under the bottom.
My GE tends to make an awful squeaky/ creaking noise when I put it on the “deep clean” cycle.
My identical ge machine bangs and shakes terribly when spinning, sometimes, even after carefully balancing the items laying heavier towels and jeans on the bottom ... ugh
I don't have this same model, but it's a GE. I found this with mine as well. We have found if you use the bulky option (you'll be wasting water though), it will spin at a slower speed and it won't make as much of a racket. Not an ideal fix in any way, but it works and we found it doesn't leave lint on our clothes like the water saving modes. These water saving modes use way too little water.
@@xtos2001 Appreciate your response and this issue is the very reason I text Ben more than once that I would love to have the older analog, no digital hooey washing machine where you can open the lid at anytime to throw in some other item at will ...
Some of the older iterations of these need a board update because the spin cycle doesn't balance right
@@bensappliancesandjunk Oy! Board update means digital hooey? I'm 73 and missing miniscus in both knees and believe me, even to bend over never mind bend down. It's a blessing to have that excellent cushion between your tibia and femur ... but I certainly appreciate your responding and I will continue to speak to the machine as Jesus said we should in Mark 11:23-24, "speak to the mountain", whether that mountain is a washing machine, cold, flu or missing miniscus, HE said it and I will not deviate from HIS Words. I have to admit, I've been declaring peace to the machine for over 2 years and it is no where near violent as the day I moved in ... it has calmed down bigly ... thanks again Ben and be Blessed and be careful and may you increase, you and your children in Jesus Name!!!
The basket in my Maytag top load washer had severe movement which caused the washer to move either left or right and would take longer to wash the clothes. I tried to even out the load, but it did not work. One day I looked at the washer to see if it was level. I noticed that the back side of the washer was 1" to 1-1/2" lower on the back side. I leveled the washer by adding wood blocks on the back side. Since I got the washer level, it's been working well so far. It is so quiet on the spin cycle, I couldn't tell if the machine was still on. It used to take an hour or so for the machine to complete its cycle, now it takes about 40-45 minutes. I hope this helps.
I just replaced a gearcase for a customer this past saturday.
Why do you consistently say that something needs replaced or needs removed. You are indicating that the action has taken place. In reality it hasn't, therefore you should say it needs TO BE removed/ replaced.
Not sure, must be a linguistic mistake on how I talk
@@bensappliancesandjunk
Grammatically it's incorrect.
@@bensappliancesandjunkyou’re absolutely not allowed to have idiosyncrasies. It completely renders the incredibly helpful information useless.
Honestly, if I had these kinds of videos years ago, I would have been a bit more confident to take on repairing my old laundry machine myself. Really appreciate what you do.
